Boxes

Boxes let you organize your media versions like how the Finder uses folders to let you organize your files. When you make additional versions of a file, the new items only appear in boxes within Musebox, because making new versions doesn’t create new files on disk. Boxes are actually a completely separate view of your media from the Finder’s files.

Keep your media files organized according to how much free space you have on your hard drives, and keep your media versions organized in boxes according to different topics, events, or projects.

Boxes also make it easier to manage importing media into your Mac. When you import items, while you can have Musebox automatically sort the files into multiple Finder folders, Musebox will put all the media versions of those files into a single destination box. That lets you review all the items you’ve imported at once without having to dig through multiple folders to see everything; you can just go through the box’s items.
